REVIEW: NARS x Guy Bourdin Promiscuous Lip Pencils Coffret (Limited Edition)

I picked up the NARS Guy Bourdin Promiscuous Lip Pencils Coffret during the Sephora VIB sale.

Sephora VIB Sale Haul (NARS, REN, Dior, etc.)

Yes, I did just do a mini Sephora haul just a couple of weeks before the VIB sale... As mentioned in that particular post, I had a 10% discount code and wanted to get the items at some discount before they sold out during the VIB.

I didn't really feel like hustling and bustling with the crowds after work, so I had a game plan to just order online.  Plus, this way I would earn an extra 4% cash back through Ebates!

I have another trip to Portland coming up after Christmas, so I was very selective in the chosen items--US prices and no sales tax -- weeeee!  I bought the items if the discounted price was either equivalent or lower than what I would pay in Portland; otherwise, they will be purchased in Portland ;)

REVIEW: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in 2457 Dragon Girl

I can only handle hearing Chelsea (ChelseaWears) talk and swatch NARS velvet matte lip pencils so many times before I cave.

I couldn't bare to gamble the available inventory of Sephora during the VIB sale, so I decided to purchase my most desired shade out of the line when I had the 10% off coupon code (haul post).

My choice:  Dragon Girl.

Sephora Haul (Hourglass, NARS, GlamGlow, etc.)

I always fall victim to those promotional emails...

Sephora had one of those interactive rolling pinball games, where you could receive promotional codes for either popular deluxe samples, free shipping, or 10% off.  My heart strings were tugged at when I got the 10% off code.

Of course, I went to Sephora through Ebates (see my post on Ebates).  My total purchase amount was approximately $90, and I gained approximately $4 in Ebates cash back!

*Cue Britney* I'm a slaaaaaaaaaaaaave for you

Sephora rang the bell and I came crawling... R, too.  She went to one of our local stores even earlier than I.
Not that, that, makes me any better...

Anyway, I had to get my hands on that sample package and umbrella, especially if it was during VIB 15%!

(The umbrella has officially become my car umbrella, so it's already taken its righteous place - Sorry, forgot to take a photo first).

Here's my shiz!

The sample package included:

• MUFE smoky lash extra black mascara
• SEPHORA full action extreme effect mascara
• GIVENCHY mister light
• BUMBLE AND BUMBLE thickening shampoo
• BUMBLE AND BUMBLE thickening conditioner
• JUICY COUTURE viva la juicy spray

Cashier gave me another sample:

• OLEHENRIKSEN truth is in the eyes

There's stuff I actually paid for:

TARTE amazonian clay 12-hour blush (Exposed)

Ohhhhh yeaaaaa I did... I can't wait to use it tomorrow...

I plan to do some mixing with my Dollface one. It'll be gorgeous.

TARTE emphaseyes brightener

For days when I want something less stark than UD yeyo

BEAUTYBLENDER

I wanna see what's with the hype.  For the price, it better shit on my QUO sponges.

SEPHORA precision pore cleansing pad

This shit is bananas.

It's sooo gentle.

I like to put my Purity on it and use it to massage my face in the shower.

Lately, I've been using the La Roche-Posay purifying gel with it.

It has a suction on the back so I stick it next to my shaver. 

What did you buy?
